Penn State Basketball just might have punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament, after a heroic buzzer-beating win over Maryland on Sunday afternoon.
For the second game in a row, it was Camren Wynter who delivered the Nittany Lions a victory as time expired, this time 65-64 over the visiting Terrapins inside the Bryce Jordan Center.

Winter finished with 6 points in 32 minutes on Sunday afternoon, but saved the biggest two for the most important moment.
Thanks to Penn State Basketball knocking off Northwestern and Maryland in thrilling fashion the last two times out, head coach Micah Shrewsberry’s team strengthened its case for an NCAA Tournament bid.
Here’s a sampling of some of the best reactions to Penn State Basketball’s comeback win over Maryland to keep their push for March Madness alive:
Watch out for those Nittany Lions. Not talking about football for once
